Bear Hug Psychology | Brisbane Psychologist Ursula Pearce
Welcome to Bear Hug Psychology
A down-to-earth psychology practice offering support that feels authentic & compassionate.
Based in Ashgrove, Brisbane, Bear Hug Psychology provides therapy for adults and young people aged 16+ who are navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing, identity questions, and relationship challenges.
You might feel overwhelmed, stuck in your head, exhausted by self-doubt, or unsure where to even begin — that’s okay. You're not alone. Therapy here is about working together in a way that’s collaborative, neuroaffirming, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and grounded in evidence-based care.
We’ll move at your pace, gently unpack what’s going on beneath the surface, and find ways to respond to life with more self-understanding, flexibility, and ease.
